A new target has been added to xbps-bin: autoremove. It works in
the same way than 'apt-get', but there's no stdin input. By default
it will list you all orphaned packages, and -f flag must be set
to really remove them.
The following is a real example for the git package, which requires
directly perl and curl-libs, and indirectly libidn and openssl.
$ xbps-bin -r ~/testing-xbps remove git
Removing package git-1.6.1.3 ... done.
$
$ xbps-bin -r ~/testing-xbps autoremove
The following packages were installed automatically
(as dependencies) and aren't needed anymore:
perl-5.10.0 curl-libs-7.19.0 libidn-1.10 openssl-0.9.8j
If you are really sure you don't need them, use -f to confirm.
$

Now if any package is going to be removed and it's required by
other packages, it won't let you remove it unless -f is set.
Here's an example of how it looks like:
[juan@fedora-vm xbps]$ xbps-bin -r ~/testing-xbps remove glibc

First remove all links, next files and last dirs.
Only check the SHA256 hash for files, skip links and dirs.

* If a dir is listed in $keep_dirs it won't be removed (anyway any
directory that is not empty won't either).
* If a config file hasn't been modified (SHA256 hash matches) the
file will be removed, otherwise it won't be removed.
There's still missing support to handle new configuration files when
there's an existing file, but will do later.

Some other changes related for this:
- Modify binpkg.sh to always insert the INSTALL script at head of
the archive, and appending files after it.
- Modify binpkg.sh to compress binpkgs with bzip2 -9 to save some bytes.

This currently checks:
- While removing, any file is checked and if hash doesn't match the
file is ignored and not removed.
- While installing, if a binary pkg file doesn't match with the one
reported by the repository's pkg index file, the process will be
stopped.
